    Not even the mechs are good, they do not move properly for their size and weight. It looks like video game cutscene physics from quite a while ago.

    The only thing I'm not liking on "Agent Knight" is the chunk under the Trans Am's nose. But I assume it's for the electronics, and as much as I want a proper Trans Am, I think I want the red swooshy lights more. EDIT: My source says the 2025 SS Commander class is a package deal with Long Haul and Hook. He seemed to suggest that the SS news at Pulsecon is that SS86 Devastator will be entirely out by the end of the year, which make sense if you pair the Commander pack with Deluxe Bonecrusher, Deluxe Scavenger, Voyager Mixmaster, and Voyager Scrapper I told you guys about awhile ago. They haven't mentioned it, but I've heard elsewhere that the mainline Commander will be Silverbolt, so we'll be completing Devastator and Superion.

    Nothing too exciting at the panel. Basically they announced most of the final waves of United and 2024 Studio Series. They say they're saving stuff for "the panel," I assume they mean Pulsecon (September 13th)? They specifically mention big news in the 2025 Studio Series, I'd have to assume they mean either Leader-class SS86 Megatron or the SS86 Constructicons.

    I imagine we should believe that it is the mechanical element acting like a traditional knee.

    "Subs vs. dubs" is an argument for the ages, but the reality of the situation is that subs-only is the norm for new anime releases on streaming. The profit margin on anime is razor thin. Dubbing is expensive, and as often as not dubs are poorly received and harshly criticized for quality issues particularly related to casting. Music-heavy anime gets hit with the latter twice as hard, since the choice is between getting reamed over casting decisions thanks to the switching of languages highlighting any sub-optimal casting choices or paying a princely sum to re-record the music. Since the enthusiast community leans heavy subs anyway, a lot of distributors seem to prefer doing subs first to get the series on streaming ASAP and coming back to get the dub on a second pass if and only if the series is well-received. ... you mean you don't? 😵‍💫 I know I do.

    I hope the BTAS Batwing also gets sold through Target so that I can apply one of their discounts to it like what I did with the BTAS Batmobile. A 1/12 scale BTAS Batmobile for $66 is a great price.

    It was okay. Hugh can do no wrong when it comes to playing this character. They hit all the emotional beats. Problems was too many 4th wall jokes and jokes in general. I would have preferred if more of the movie took place in a more realistic universe. This one had a Covid vibe of filmed on set with nobody there. Help kept all the cameos a secret, I guess. Violence was too much that it was easy to become numb to it. Same with the vulgar jokes. CGI characters all made of rubber. I'll excuse the bad CGI in this movie over other movies because this movie was a cartoon. Movie wasn't needed. If the X-Men movies ended without Logan this would have been a good swan song for the character. Dead Pool 2 also had good ending. He 4th walled himself a happy ending. This movie screamed, Oh my god. The movie industry is dying. Let's throw a bunch of money at things. The "until you're 90" joke is so true for all these actors. Most actors want two things: a chance to act and a chance to act in something with meaning. Studios aren't interested in funding things with meaning. If they want to act it will be things like this forever, forever.

    So.. I got bored a little earlier, and curious about how difficult it might be to do this. Turns out Bandai's general yellow plastic in many of their kits is a pretty good match. This is just two of those big tabs they label sprues with, sandwiched together with cement, then cut and filed to shape. The notch was made by pressing a 1/8th inch drill bit into the plastic and cutting a dent, then filing a channel for the snap to travel. Not a perfect match, but not bad for about an hour's work. Honestly? I think I like it better than the stock one, just for filling out the mount, and not constantly getting knocked out of place. The pivot is horribly sloppy on the normal one.

    What we *can* say is that the process of creating dubs would delay the distribution of these shows by who knows how long. Especially if they dubbed in multiple languages.

    Actually, this is what I'm afraid of back then about my collectibles. I know that if I price it a lot, I'm going to get stuck with it for a long period. I already sold stuff back home in bargain just to get rid of it. And that without opening the toy ever since I bought it. Kind of pathetic.

    Most of the assumptions on the bent probably happened before packing since there's no signs of boxes being mishandled to cause the said bent damage. But then, who knows, since Bandai hasn't stated anything officially regarding their QC mistakes.

    Ryan always made this clear from the start of production. But... we got a easily avoidable fourth Matrix film almost two decades later...

    I went down the phase briefly of buying double and triples, so to have one open, one left sealed, and sometimes a third kept in the original shipping box with the plastic wrap. It was a crazy. But I don't feel too ashamed as an acquaintance during the Yamaha/Arcadia peak, he literary brought 4 of 5 of each of those valks and also went crazy with the vintage 1/55. Three to display in each mode, and 1 or 2 to keep sealed. But the master plan to eventually have this great display room of valks from wall to wall, never came to be as he lost interest. Last I heard he's trying hard to flog his entire collection of almost 300 valks in bulk, but as he's asking for premium e-bay prices, he's still stuck with it. Now it's years I buy singles, fewer, open them, and enjoy them more.

    I'm gonna go tomorrow morning, it's very difficult for me to find seats where I like to sit, sort of a Sheldon Cooper kind of thing. I don't like being surrounded by people and want optimal ability to use the bathroom if I need to.

    think there's already a long conversation about this in the Kids Logic thread. But it's an easy pass for me, Battloid mode looks okay, the rest is terrible.

    I ordered 2 days before you on the 25th. I got my shipping notification yesterday. So hopefully you will be getting your's soon.

    Considering the main US distro is probably coming over on pallets, rather than individual boxes, might be a bit better? Of course, that's before it gets shipped inside the US, so might be just as bad.
